West Siberian Lowland Peatland GIS Data Collection
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS131

Summary
This dataset contains the West Siberian Lowland (WSL) peatland GIS data
collection. The collection covers the entire West Siberian lowland and was
compiled from a wide array of data under the auspices of the NSF-funded
Sensitivity of the West Siberian Lowland to Past and Present Climate project
(Smith et al., 2000; Smith et al., 2004). Detailed physical characteristics of
9,691 individual peatlands (patches) were obtained from previously unpublished
Russian field and ancillary map data, previously published depth measurements,
and field depth and core measurements taken throughout the region during field
campaigns in 1999, 2000, and 2001. The data collection features eight layers
containing the detailed peatland inventory, political, and hydrographic
information. Point data consist of field and laboratory measurements of peat
depth, ash content, and bulk density. This research was funded by the National
Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP), grant number
OPP-9818496.
